SUMMARY
'The emotional part will make the rest of the body ache… when you get rid of the emotion, you’ll find you have more strength, and you’re able to heal yourself better.'
'Guilt is a rotten stuff, rotten, dirty, filthy stuff is guilt, emotional muck. So many people in the human condition think they are guilty and therefore are self judgmental, especially women... You are here to enjoy your life, not to enjoy yourself, but for you to be able to walk around feeling no guilt, because if you’ve got guilt, you’ve had guilt put on you.'
'The only art is for you and I to produce in this body, in that body, a pure and loving man or woman in that body and this body, that’s the only art on Earth, the real art.'
Through real-life examples, Barry Long counsels participants to face life’s hardships—physical pain, family tension, loss, and heartbreak—with clarity, detachment, and stillness.
